The lyrics of Davido ft. Uhuru & Dj Buckz's song The Sound talks about Davido's celebrity lifestyle, with girls from all over the world (India to Brazil) attracted to him. He has plenty of money to spend, and he's not afraid to use it to paint the town red. The song also talks about the way Davido's love interest dances to the music, with her moves making him feel like he's losing his mind. The chorus emphasizes the importance of getting low and moving your body to the rhythm of the music.
The verses and the chorus feature a mixture of African and international languages, such as Swahili and Portuguese. The use of these languages further emphasizes the global nature of the song, as well as the cultural exchange that occurs when people from different parts of the world come together.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was produced by Shizzi and co-produced by Uhuru, who also provided the group's signature grooves that add an African flavor to the song. Another interesting fact is that the music video was directed by Sesan, who has worked with several African artists, including Wizkid and Tiwa Savage. The video showcases various aspects of African culture, such as the clothing, dancing, and music, and features cameo appearances by some of Davido's celebrity friends.
